Τάδε λέγει Κύριος Βάδισον καὶ κτῆσαι σεαυτῷ περίζωμα λινοῦν καὶ περίθου περὶ τὴν ὀσφύν σου, καὶ ἐν ὕδατι οὐ διελεύσεται.

καὶ ἐκτησάμην τὸ περίζωμα κατὰ τὸν λόγον Κυρίου καὶ περιέθηκα περὶ τὴν ὀσφύν μου.

καὶ ἐγενήθη λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μέ λέγων

Λάβε τὸ ¹² περίζωμα τὸ περὶ τὴν ὀσφύν σου, καὶ ἀνάστηθι καὶ βάδισον ἐπὶ τὸν ³ Εὐφράτην, καὶ κατάκρυψον αὐτὸ ἐκεῖ ἐν τῇ τρυμαλιᾷ τῆς πέτρας.

καὶ ἐπορεύθην καὶ ἔκρυψα αὐτὸ ἐν τῷ Εὐφράτη, καθὼς ἐνετείλατό μοι Κύριος.

καὶ ἐγένετο μεθʼ ἡμέρας πολλὰς καὶ εἶπεν Κύριος πρὸς μέ Ἀνάστηθι βάδισον ἐπὶ τὸν Εὐφράτην, καὶ λάβε ἐκεῖθεν τὸ περίζωμα ὃ ἐνετειλάμην σοι τοῦ κατακρύψαι ἐκεῖ.

καὶ ἐπορεύθην ἐπὶ τὸν Εὐφράτην ποταμὸν καὶ ὤρυξα, καὶ ἔλαβον τὸ περίζωμα ἐκ τοῦ τόπου οὗ κατώρυξα αὐτὸ ἐκεῖ, καὶ ἰδοὺ διεφθαρμένον ἦν, ὃ οὐ μὴ χρησθῇ εἰς οὐθέν.

καὶ ἐγενήθη λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μέ λέγων Τάδε λέγει Κύριος

Οὕτω φθερῶ τὴν ὕβριν Ἰούδα καὶ τὴν ὕβριν Ἰερουσαλήμ,

τὴν πολλὴν ταύτην ὕβριν, τοὺς μὴ βουλομένους ὑπακούειν τῶν λόγων μου, καὶ πορευθέντας ὀπίσω θεῶν ἀλλοτρίων τοῦ δουλεύειν αὐτοῖς καὶ τοῦ προσκυνεῖν αὐτοῖς· καὶ ἔσονται ὥσπερ τὸ περίζωμα τοῦτο, ὁ οὐ χρησθήσεται εἰς οὐθέν.

ὅτι καθάπερ κολλᾶται τὸ περίζωμα περὶ τὴν ὀσφὺν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου, οὕτως ἐκόλλησα πρὸς ἐμαυτὸν τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ πᾶν οἶκον Ἰούδα, τοῦ γενέσθαι μοι εἰς λαὸν ὀνομαστὸν καὶ εἰς καύχημα καὶ εἰς δόξαν· καὶ οὐκ εἰσήκουσάν μου.

καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον Πᾶς ἀσκὸς πληρωθήσεται οἴνου· καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν εἴπωσιν πρὸς σέ Μὴ γνόντες οὐ γνωσόμεθα ὅτι πᾶς ἀσκὸς πληρωθήσεται οἴνου;

καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτοὺς Τάδε λέγει Κύριος Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ πληρῶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας τὴν γῆν ταύτην καὶ τοὺς βασιλεῖς αὐτῶν τοὺς καθημένους υἱοὺς τοῦ Δαυεὶδ ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς ἱερεῖς καὶ τοὺς προφήτας καὶ τὸν Ἰούδαν καὶ πάντας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν Ἰερουσαλὴμ μεθύσματι,

καὶ διασκορπιῶ αὐτοὺς ⁴⁶ ἄνδρα καὶ τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ τοὺς πατέρας αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ αὐτῷ· οὐκ ἐπιποθήσω, λέγει Κύριος, καὶ οὐ φείσομαι καὶ οὐκ οἰκτειρήσω ἀπὸ διαφθορᾶς αὐτῶν.

Ἀκούσατε καὶ ἐνωτίσασθε, καὶ μὴ ἐπαίρεσθε, ὅτι Κύριος ἐλάλησεν·

δότε τῷ κυρίῳ θεῷ ὑμῶν δόξαν πρὸ τοῦ συσκοτάσαι καὶ πρὸ τοῦ προσκόψαι πόδας ὑμῶν ἐπʼ ὄρη σκοτινά· καὶ ἀναμενεῖτε εἰς φῶς, καὶ ἐκεῖ σκιὰ θανάτου, καὶ τεθήσονται εἰς σκότος.

ἐὰν δὲ μὴ ἀκούσητε, κεκρυμμέναως κλαύσεται ἡ ψυχὴ ὑμῶν ἀπὸ προσώπου ὕβρεως, καὶ κατάξουσιν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ὑμῶν δάκρυα, ὅτι συνετρίβη τὸ ποίμνιον Κυρίου.

κἴπατε τῷ βασιλεῖ καὶ τοῖς δυναστεύουσιν Ταπεινώθητε καὶ καθίσατε, ὅτι καθῃρέθη ἀπὸ κεφαλῆς ὑμῶν στέφανος δόξης ὑμῶν.

πόλεις αἱ πρὸς νότον συνεκλείσθησαν, καὶ οὐκ ἧν ὁ ἀνοίγων· ἀποικίσθη Ἰούδας, συνετέλεσαν ἀποικίαν τελείαν.

Ἀνάλαβε ὀφθαλμούς σου, Ἰερουσαλήμ, καὶ ἴδὲ τοὺς ἐρχομένους ἀπὸ βορρᾶ· ποῦ ἐστιν τὸ ποίμνιον ὃ ἐδόθη σοι, πρόβατα δόξης σου;

τί ἐρεῖς ὅταν ἐπισκέπτωνταί σε ; καὶ σὺ ἐδίδαξας αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ σέ μαθήματα εἰς ἀρχήν· οὐκ ὠδῖνες καθέξουσίν σε καθὼς γυναῖκα τίκτουσαν;

καὶ ἐὰν εἴπῃς ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου Διὰ τί ἀπήντησέν μοι ταῦτα; διὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῆς ἀδικίας σου ἀνεκαλύφθη τὰ ὀπίσθιά σου, παραδειγματισθῆναι τὰς πτέρνας σου.

κἰ ἀλλάξεται Αἰθίοψ τὸ δέρμα αὐτοῦ καὶ πάρδαλις τὰ ποικίλματα αὐτῆς; καὶ ὑμεῖς δυνήσεσθε εὖ ποιῆσαι μεμαθηκότες τὰ κακά.

καὶ διέσπειρα αὐτοὺς ὡς φρύγανα φερόμενα ἀπὸ ἀνέμου εἰς ἔρημον.

οὗτος ὁ κλῆρός σου καὶ μερὶς τοῦ ἀπειθεῖν ὑμᾶς ἐμοί, λέγει Κύριος· ὡς ἐπελάθου μου καὶ ἤλπισας ἐπὶ ψεύδεσιν,

κἀγὼ ἀποκαλύψω τὰ ὀπίσω σου ἐπὶ τὸ πρόσωπόν σου, καὶ ὀφθήσεται ἡ ἀτιμία σου

καὶ ⁷⁸ ἡ μοιχεία σου καὶ χρεμετισμός σου καὶ ἡ ἀπαλλοτρίωσις τῆς πορνείας ⁹ σου· ἐπὶ τῶν βουνῶν καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἀγροῖς ἑώρακα τὰ βδελύγματά σου. οὐαί σοι, Ἰερουσαλήμ, ὅτι οὐκ ἐκαθαρίσθης ὀπίσω μου, ἕως τίνος ἔτι;

Jeremiah Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 13 focus

Thus says Yahweh to me, Go, and buy you a linen belt, and put it on your loins, and don't put it in water.

So I bought a belt according to the word of Yahweh, and put it on my loins.

The word of Yahweh came to me the second time, saying,

Take the belt that you have bought, which is on your loins, and arise, go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a cleft of the rock.

So I went, and hid it by the Euphrates, as Yahweh commanded me.

It happened after many days, that Yahweh said to me, Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take the belt from there, which I commanded you to hide there.

Then I went to the Euphrates, and dug, and took the belt from the place where I had hid it; and, behold, the belt was marred, it was profitable for nothing.

Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

Thus says Yahweh, After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.

This evil people, who refuse to hear my words, who walk in the stubbornness of their heart, and are gone after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this belt, which is profitable for nothing.

For as the belt cleaves to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave to me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, says Yahweh; that they may be to me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.

Therefore you shall speak to them this word: Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and they shall tell you, Do we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine?

Then shall you tell them, Thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings who sit on David's throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness.

I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, says Yahweh: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have compassion, that I should not destroy them.

Hear you, and give ear; don't be proud; for Yahweh has spoken.

Give glory to Yahweh your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains, and, while you look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness.

But if you will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret for [your] pride; and my eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because Yahweh's flock is taken captive.

Say you to the king and to the queen-mother, Humble yourselves, sit down; for your headdresses are come down, even the crown of your glory.

The cities of the South are shut up, and there is none to open them: Judah is carried away captive, all of it; it is wholly carried away captive.

Lift up your eyes, and see those who come from the north: where is the flock that was given you, your beautiful flock?

What will you say, when he shall set over you as head those whom you have yourself taught to be friends to you? shall not sorrows take hold of you, as of a woman in travail?

If you say in your heart, Why are these things come on me? for the greatness of your iniquity are your skirts uncovered, and your heels suffer violence.

Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may you also do good, who are accustomed to do evil.

Therefore will I scatter them, as the stubble that passes away, by the wind of the wilderness.

This is your lot, the portion measured to you from me, says Yahweh; because you have forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.

Therefore will I also uncover your skirts on your face, and your shame shall appear.

I have seen your abominations, even your adulteries, and your neighing, the lewdness of your prostitution, on the hills in the field. Woe to you, Jerusalem! you will not be made clean; how long shall it yet be?
